DESCRIPTION
M1–M2 Accel Rate
0.1–5.0 sec.
Defines the time it takes the controller to accelerate from 0% output to
100% output when full throttle is requested. Larger values represent a lon-
ger acceleration time and a gentler start. Fast starts can be achieved by
reducing the acceleration time, i.e., but setting the Accel Rate to a smaller
value.
M1–M2 Decel Rate
0.1–10.0 sec.
Defines the time it takes the controller to decelerate from 100% output to
0% output. The Decel Rate determines the vehicle’s braking character-
istic for any reduction in throttle that does not include a request for the
opposite direction. Lower values represent faster deceleration and thus a
shorter stopping distance.
The Decel Rate should be set to a higher value (slower deceleration)
than the corresponding Brake Rate.
M1–M2 Brake Rate
0.1–5.0 sec.
Defines the time it takes the controller to brake from 100% output to
0% output when a new direction is selected. Larger values represent
a longer time and consequently gentler braking. Faster braking can be
achieved by adjusting the braking rate to a smaller value.
The Brake Rate should be set to a lower value (faster deceleration)
than the corresponding Decel Rate.
Fast Stop Rate
0.1–5.0 sec.
Defines the time it takes the controller to stop from full speed when a
fast stop is required, either because the interlock switch has opened or
because the emergency reverse switch has been pressed.
Accel Release Rate
0.0–1.0 sec.
Defines how quickly deceleration will be initiated when the throttle is
released while the vehicle is still accelerating. If the release rate is fast
(i.e., set to a low value), the transition is initiated abruptly. The transition
is smoother if the release rate is set to a higher value (slower transition);
however, setting the rate to too high a value can cause the vehicle to feel
uncontrollable when the throttle is released, as it will continue to drive for
a short time.
